[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your mom from Asia? I am Korean, and Koreans have a bunch of traditional 'rules' regarding post-partum care, including not being cold or having cold water ever, certain type of food to be eaten (mostly seaweed for Koreans, I think for Chinese it's ginger?), etc. The concern is that if these rules are not followed, the mom will have 'feminine' ailments later in life.

I did find it annoying too during my post-partum period, but another 'rule' my mom had was I had to stay in bed for couple weeks ? so I felt her annoying bossiness was the price I had to pay for all the spoiling I was getting...[/quote]

If this is the case, wouldn't OP know about this stuff by osmosis? Witnessing other members. It's just interesting that this stuff is 'new' to her. Or maybe it's just the intensity of her Mom that's throwing her. I'd let her keep coming, but just say, you cannot come into the bathroom with me. Then LOCK THE DOOR.[/quote]

Not OP but can relate. This stuff is not new. But after living apart and adjusting to other realities, parents' ideas about things do throw people off.[/quote]
